IT’S PIE TIME!

BEFORE USING YOUR PIE MAKER

Before using your Pie Maker, clean it with a

soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

It is recommended that the non-stick plates be

conditioned to protect the non-stick surface.

Plug the power supply cord into the mains

power supply, switch on your Pie Maker and

allow it to heat for approximately 5 minutes.

Apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the

cooking plates and carefully rub it in with a

paper towel. You only need to condition the

cooking plates when using your Pie Maker for

the first time.

Warning: You need to be careful - the cooking

plates will get very hot!

MAKING DELICIOUS PIES

Plug your Pie Maker into the mains power

supply and switch it on.

Preheat your Pie Maker for approximately 5

minutes, until the green light illuminates.

Roll out your pastry, then with the pastry cutter,

cut out the lid and base for your pie.

Place the pastry base into your Pie Maker and

press it into the cooking plate well using the

stamp provided, taking extreme care not to

touch the hot cooking plates – you don’t want

to get burnt!

Spoon your pie filling into the pie base, taking

care not to overfill it, then carefully place

Cook the pie for approximately 15–20 minutes,

depending upon the recipe that you have used.

After use, switch off your Pie Maker and

disconnect it from the mains power supply.

Use a plastic or wooden spatula to remove

your pie from the cooking plates, so as not to

damage the non-stick surface of your Pie Maker.

Note: Pie fillings should be cooked in advance,

particularly if using fresh meat or vegetable

ingredients. Do not overfill your pie.

Caution: Your pie will be very hot; take extreme

care when removing it from your Pie Maker and

always wear heat-resistant oven gloves.

HINTS & TIPS

Your Pie Maker can be used to cook a variety of

pies or tarts.

Puff pastry is perfect for savoury pies and can

be used to form the pie lid, as it puffs up to

create a buttery, flaky top.

Shortcrust pastry can be used for both sweet

and savoury pies.

Sweet shortcrust pastry is ideal for making

desserts as it is quite crumbly and compliments

certain sweet fillings.

Note: Only use sweet shortcrust pastry for the

pie lid, due to its crumbly consistency.

KEEPING YOUR PIE MAKER IN TIP TOP ORDER!

Always unplug your Pie Maker from the mains

power supply before attempting any cleaning

or maintenance.

Ensure that your Pie Maker has completely

cooled before cleaning, as it gets very hot

during use.

BLIND BAKING

METHOD

Line your Pie Maker cooking plate well

with pastry.

Allow approximately 1 cm of extra pastry

around the edge of the pie base plate well.

Cover the pastry base with baking paper and

then fill with baking beans.

Close the lid, switch on your Pie Maker and

cook the pastry for approximately 5 minutes.

Remove the baking paper and baking beans

from the pastry well, taking care not to touch

the hot cooking plates.

Fill the pastry base with the desired filling,

prepared according to the recipe guidelines,

placing a greater amount of filling in the centre

to give your pie a good shape.

Cover the pastry base with the pastry top and

then close your Pie Maker lid.

Cook for a further 15 minutes until the pastry is

cooked on top.

Tip: Rice or dry beans can be used instead of

baking beans.

Blind Baking 7

METHOD

To make pastry using a food processor:

Add the flour, butter and salt to a food

processor and using dough blades, process

briefly until the fat is rubbed into the flour and

the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

With the motor running, gradually add the

water through the feeding chute until the

dough comes together. Only add enough water

to bind the mixture together. If the mixture

does not bind in the processor, it should be

removed and bound together by hand.

Once bound, wrap the dough in cling film and

refrigerate for approximately 10–15 minutes

before use.

To make pastry by hand:

Add the flour and salt to a large mixing bowl

and then add the cubes of butter.

Use your fingertips to rub the butter and

flour together until you have a mixture that

resembles coarse breadcrumbs. No large lumps

of butter should remain. Try to work quickly so

that the dough does not become greasy.

Using a knife, stir in just enough of the cold

water to bind the dough together.

Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for

approximately 10–15 minutes before using.

Tip: Gently shake the mixing bowl whilst

rubbing the butter and flour together, as any

large pieces of butter remaining will move to

the surface.
